99 these without a Section 42 enquiry. This will have to be considered on a case-by-case basis. A MAPS forum which offers continuing support, guidance and feedback with an accountable person representing the service provider could be a very useful resource to put in place to consider and review new concerns arising and assess the risk posed and whether they can be responded to by the provider, with support as necessary, or require a further safeguarding referral. See point 5 above. 15. Post enquiry actions Consider providing a debrief for staff who have been involved. Lessons learnt, or best practice derived from the enquiry and its’ outcomes should be made available so that training issues or practice improvements can be identified. Managers should carefully consider whether to provide counselling for staff in their agency if they were personally affected by the enquiry and what was found. Consider the need to recommend that a Safeguarding Adult Review (SAR) is held and even if the set of concerns do not meet the threshold for this a summary report of learning might well be called for. See HERE for more information on when to refer to the SAB for a SAR. Lessons to be learnt from one LSE may well be applied elsewhere or more generally. The SABs and safeguarding teams should routinely review this learning and what to disseminate from completed enquiries. 16.
